A London law firm has said it’s been wrongly linked to a “spoof” job advertisement seeking a “pretty lawyer to impress Asian clients”, Legal Cheek can reveal. Bloomsbury Law Solicitors denies any knowledge of the ad and says it has launched an investigation.

The job listing, which appeared on the social media site’s ‘LONDON MODELS’ group earlier this month, states that a “reputable law firm” is looking to recruit an Indian or Middle Eastern model with a law degree.

The ad (screenshot below) — which was posted by a Facebook user who Legal Cheek has chosen not to name — reassures potential applicants that it’s a “legit position and nothing sleazy”. It now appears to have been deleted.

Though the advert does not reveal the identity of the firm, Legal Cheek has been handed copies of Facebook messages, one of which is pictured below, purportedly sent by the author of the ad to one job hunter. These messages claim that the position is with West London outfit Bloomsbury Law.

A spokesperson for Bloomsbury Law Solicitors told us:

“First and foremost, we do not advertise on Facebook and we have no such vacancy. This advert is a spoof which we believe has been posted with the intention to cause mischief in a malicious way.”

Legal Cheek reached out to the individual who posted the advert via Facebook and was promptly blocked. A spokesperson for the firm added it has no connection with this person whatsoever.

As to why Bloomsbury Law Solicitors seems to have been targeted in this way, perhaps an answer is to be found in its rather eye-catching Instagram account.

So Patrick, it is set in stone then… we are making our respective lateral moves now.

Instruct recruiters for both of us please. We are going to Bloomsbury law. US firms are overrated anyway.

You have couched your insult with a ‘probably’ and then claim it is a ‘fact’ (without using upper case following a full stop).

You may have looks but you definitely lack brains.

It was dark by the time Tom came to. As he carefully lifted himself off the grimy Legal Cheek office floor his hand became trapped on something sticky. Looking down, he realised it was an ancient piece of discarded chewing gum. His stomach turned, and he heaved.

As he got unsteadily to his feet, Tom was still feeling groggy. What had happened? The last time he felt like this was when he woke up after the knee operation that prematurely ended his rugby career.

He lurched into the kitchen. Grabbing a piece of kitchen towel he wiped the dirt off the window and peered through. The sunlight was beginning to appear over the row of 1960s office blocks on the horizon, confirming that it was morning. Tom had spent the entire night on the floor.

He scrunched his face in effort as he tried to remember what had happened. The last thing he could remember was a story Jeremy had forwarded about a law firm advertising for a model. Jeremy was excited when he saw the models in the Instagram feed, and wanted Tom to see. Tom recalled that he had opened the link, and had browsed the pictures with interest. His fatal error was forgetting that Katie was in the office. A shadow appeared on Tom’s screen. He immediately realised his error. This was his second offence. He had skilfully avoided punishment form Katie after the adult actress incident, but this time he was not so fortunate. The next sound Tom heard was the swoop of a CMS branded pen holder coming down at speed towards his skull, followed by black.

Why? Nothing wrong going on. Some nice attractive young ladies having fun whilst working for a law firm. If you are referring to Jeanne’s slightly risque underwear pictures from her past career then get a grip. The pictures are fine and she should be proud of them and her body. Empowerment.

But where do you draw the line? If the male partner sends dick pictures to the young, attractive, delicious, melt-in-the-mouth paralegal-bods, is that too far?

Yes, clearly a full and thorough investigation is required. Lengthy interviews will be conducted and full photographic evidence collected.

Are we absolutely certain this ‘law firm’ isn’t just an extension of Brazzers, Inc.?

I mean, a bit of glamour is all good, but it just ain’t normal for a law firm IG account to give me such throbbing hardwood!

I’m inclined to think that the law firm is not being honest. Especially given the inacurate information/ lies they have elsewhere on their website. For instance, among other many things, they claim that one of their solicitors qualified from a “City firm”, when she actually qualified from a small firm and virtually unknown in the West End. That’s quite a leap.

Of course Bloomsbury are behind this.. A few years ago, they requested that prospective paralegas and trainees send a “recent passport size photo” of themselves. Which law firm or company even does that?!
